Bounding polygon

(if possible, provide a bounding polygon where the imagery is valid, e.g. as a GeoJSON or OSM file.)
See FAQ.md for information about how to draw a bounding polygon.

Good find @maxerickson ! I did not know USGS was running this server, and there are some other nice maps on there too.

NHD is a USGS produced dataset and more info about it can be found here: https://nhd.usgs.gov/

License is compatible as "USGS-authored or produced data and information are considered to be in the U.S. public domain." see: https://www2.usgs.gov/laws/info_policies.html

Can we reuse an existing polygon? Which of those layers would we like to have?

We can probably just copy the TIGER boundary polygon from https://github.com/osmlab/editor-layer-index/blob/gh-pages/sources/north-america/us/TIGER2017RoadsOverlay.geojson

Are the non-contiguous states of Alaska and Hawaii and all off-shore United States territories and possessions not covered too?

They are covered - if you clicked on the .geojson link above, GitHub centers the view it over the lower 48, but zooming out you can see that all the other territories and possessions are covered (in fact we do have TIGER data for them too, which surprised me!)

btw, that's an artifact of us not having fixed #217 yet. :see_no_evil:
